Cranberry - Bloody Tom and the Coffin Riders... Colter the first wave
This is part V of a series. If you want to read parts I through IV - follow these links: Part I | Part II | Part III | Part IV
Or you can just jump right in here!
"...So - to be clear - when you say: 'kicking an ass,' it has nothing whatsoever to do with animal abuse?"
I had to be sure, but I could tell that Bloody Tom was getting a little tired of explaining it.
I glanced over at Eli who had been consolidating our armaments with Ezekiel, the mayor's slow witted, but affable son. They were stockpiling ammunition along the back wall of the bunkhouse we were in. The pile had grown large and alarmingly unstable, so I was glad he was there to help organize it all.
I noticed Eli pause, and take a seat on one of the crates. As he settled in, he leaned forward to watch our conversation. It was as though he were about to observe something very amusing.
Then my attentions were swiftly drawn back to our discussion as Bloody Tom slapped his hand on the table, causing the plates and utensils to rattle and dance slightly. He wasn't known for his patience.
"For fuck's sake Cranny! NO! 'Kicking ass' is when you beat someone's shit! You WIN - and... and the other dude is your bitch!"
The Coffin Riders had taken to calling me "Cranny."
At first I did not like the name at all. It sounded a little like 'granny' and also evoked dark places in old cellars where insects might hide.
Yet over time, I got used to it, and realized it's not the word - but who is saying it and how it is meant, that is most important. Now I find it has a rather endearing quality, and it would be most strange to hear my new friends refer to me by any other name.
Also, Tom's logic was starting to make sense - but now the word 'bitch' had been added to the taxonomical mix - and it's use generated more questions.
I leaned over the table and turned the key on the lamp to kill the flame as the morning sun's pale, cold rays had just started to slant into the window.
We could be attacked any day now and needed to save the kerosene.
As I pursued my line of questioning, I softened my voice to signal my earnest desire to know. I really wanted to understand how they thought about things.
"I see... but when you bring the term 'bitch' into the mix Tom, it just sounds more and more like you have some kind of vendetta against animals."
Eli made a sudden weird grunting sound as if he was stifling a sneeze. An understandable reaction, as it was quite dusty where he was sitting.
Bloody Tom opened his mouth to fire back, but I quickly put a hand up to signal I wasn't finished and continued.
"Now before you say anything - I understand that 'bitch' doesn't simply mean a female dog. I know that it is also applied to horrible ladies, and often it can be men who you are able to overpower and intimidate. But still - it just seems to me like you have something against animals in general. Animal related slurs are frequently directed at the center of whatever is vexing you in the moment."
Tom's eyes glazed over and he looked down at the rough hewn table we sat at. With his fingertips, he slowly pushed away the tin mug of coffee in front of him. It was as though this vessel contained the source of all his troubles.
"Cranny - I don't even..."
He turned to Eli, but found no help there. Eli had gone back to stacking the ammunition with Ezekiel. When he turned back to me and spoke, it was quiet... controlled, and only the slightest tremor in his voice gave away his profound annoyance. I was truly touched by my leader's sincere attempts to modulate is temper for me.
"We're gonna have to table this little discussion, because - it's time for me to go annnnnnd uh... do something meaningful now - so Cranny, I'm going to go out and kill us all some food."
I was embarrassed by my own impertinence and frustrated by my lack of ability to understand the vernacular of the west. I also wanted to do something meaningful too and made a suggestion.
"Tom... I couldn't help noticing that there are bright red barrels and crates containing TNT inexplicably scattered all over town. That could be enormously dangerous if we are attacked. Shall I remove them to a single, safe location?"
I heard that strange stifled sneeze sound come from Eli's direction again. When I glanced at him, I thought he was smiling - but it could have just been gas. It's hard to say with the quality of the canned food here in Colter.
I was most pleased to hear Bloody Tom agree with my idea.
"Uhhhh... fuck yes you should move them to a safe location. That would be a great idea Cranny! Won't lie - kinda thought that had already happened by now... but - whatever, just get all that shit stowed. Get a wagon and some help - and move those fuckers into the basement of the old church pronto!"
Eli slid the last ammunition crate into place and knocked the dust from his hands as he addressed me.
"I'll give you a hand with that Cranny -"
He turned to the young man who had been helping him - and patted him good naturedly on the shoulder.
"Thanks Zeke, you were a big hel-"
KRACK-A-BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!
Zeke's head was there one moment and then suddenly... it was gone! Only his neck stump remained, belching up a terrible fountain of dark red foam. Eli's wide eyes were bright as they contrasted against his blood spattered face - yet surprisingly - he was the first to speak. He turned to Bloody Tom and me as we just stared...
"I swear - I just touched him on the shoulder. Seriously, it was just a friendly pat - it wasn't that har- "
SSSHHHHHBBBBOOOOMMMMM!
The whole front of the building exploded inwards. It was like the furniture, all the jars on the shelves - everything sprung to life and flew at us in a mad rage. Eli and I were flung like dolls against the back wall and I dimly saw Bloody Tom fly off in the opposite direction, crashing like a meteor through tables, chairs and bunks.
The ammunition boxes ruptured and the shelves caved in causing thousands of bullets to slide and cascade down, piling up around Eli and me burying us in loose clattering heaps of brass and lead.
As the ringing in my ears subsided, I could hear the sounds of gunfire and shouting coming through the smoking, blackened ruin that was once the front of our bunkhouse. I could smell smoke - sulfur...
I felt a hand on my shoulder, and realized it had been there a while and was shaking me. It was Eli -
"Cranny, you okay?"
I sat up causing the bullets that had covered me to slide off chattering onto the floor. I ran my hands over my body and did a quick assessment.
"I, uh - y-yes... fine... and you??"
Eli was already unslinging his gun and stuffing cartridges in his pockets.
"Yeah, I'm good. We're under attack and need to move quick - where's Bloody - "
From the far corner of the room, we first heard - then saw to our great relief - Bloody Tom emerge unscathed from beneath a pile of broken burning furniture and twisted metal. He wasn't happy...
"Yeah - I'm fine TOO! Thought I'd just mention that since NO ONE is asking. But I guess that's because I'm just a worthless piece of shit... But hey - I'm glad YOU'RE okay!"
Eli just rolled his eyes as though it were some inside joke - but I called to our leader over the sound of sliding debris and settling rubble. I was horrified that he would think such a thing!
"Oh Tom that is not true we were SO very concerne - "
WWWWWHHHHHAAAABLAAAAAMMM!
A huge explosion hit the church just across the narrow street from our destroyed building. The shockwave knocked us all to the ground as soot and ash rained down everywhere. Again, the ringing in my ears gave way to more shouts and gun fire. As we scrambled to our feet a second time - the light behind me was blocked by something - or someone - coming through the opening!
I spun up to my knees and drew my LeMat - but held fire - it was Mr. Grimfrost! He was standing on a pile of broken stone that had once been a chimney.
Like us, he was covered with soot, and paused calmly to brush some burning embers from the shoulder of his jacket. When he spoke it was in that gentle, relaxed way of his that made every situation seem quite reasonable.
"It looks like the attack started a little early... so... when you ladies are done napping - we could really use your help."

A lot of things about Nuclear Blast and some of their bands' behaviour make more sense with the info in the other post below in mind, but the most comical one of them (probably also the only funny one) is their new bonus point system, which allows you to save 0.5% of the regular price, excluding VAT (which usually isn't even given separately in German stores, it's just a part of the price), IF you have already spent 200€ in the last 12 months, because those bonus points also expire after a year.
So as a regular customer, you simply have to spend 200€ within 12 months, then you get back 0.5% of 84% of that! That means you get back 42c per 100€ you spend! Wow what a steal!
I ordered something for 62€ from them last year, so I could now save 28c on my next order - except I can't, because I'm under 200€ and can't use the points. But that's probably better, after all, what would I do with all that extra money? It would probably get to my head and I'd become an insufferable rich shithead.
#nuclear blast#music stuff#why not abolish the bonus points altogether if you clearly don't want to have a bonus point program#and i thought grimfrost was bad#though in their defense#grimfrost IS bad

Multipart post: Upgrading my norse/viking tunic:
So less than a year ago I had to vend at a winter renaissance fair. I needed a period looking outer garment that was both warm and wet weather capable, so something made from wool. The cost of ordering wool to make my own custom over-tunic would have been more than purchasing one about the right measurements and altering it myself, thus I bought a quick solution off grimfrost and hemmed it to fit. It works great, is super warm, roomy enough to conceal additional layers, but it also looks super bland as a plain grey tunic. Because it's summer I think it's a perfect time to start some upgrades!
I found a pair of wool trousers at a charity resale shop and decided to make some accent panels. Of the two colors available, I like this one better with the tunic and the tablet woven trim I am going to use (you'll see it later). These trousers were made in south korea - I lived/worked there for a few years when I was younger and I dig the idea of carrying a bit of that with me on my mead soaked adventures. Good friends, good mead, and good memories go together.
The edges will be double folded/rolled to prevent fraying. I don't who it was that showed me to iron my seams, but take the time to do it. It really makes a difference. I'm doing each fold/roll on the ironing board, then pinning them before moving to the sewing machine.
I wrapped the left cuff (top) around the sleeve with the extra fabric rolled inwards, pinned the seam together, then pulled it off and flipped it inside out. I marked the line with tailors chalk, ran my stitch, ran a second stitch to prevent fraying, then cut off the excess. I used this measurement as the template for the right cuff (bottom) shown here. Note the bevel. The sleeves are not straight cut and narrow as they approach the hand.
Flipped the cuffs right side out, made some quick tacking stitches, and hand jammed a running stitch along the edges (top and the bottom rolled in). I plan to remove these panels for embroidery at a later date so I'm not going with a tighter stitch. Alibi: I did occasionally switch to two or three whip stitches to prevent movement while sewing. This particular picture sucks but it's 10pm and everyone is asleep.
I went ahead and cut/ironed the front and back bottom hem panels, minus side gores. I'll come back to this in the morning/next post.

Cranberry - Bloody Tom and the Coffin Riders... Colter | Part IV
It turned out that I had been taken all the way to the village of Colter!
It was a small, snowbound community that had somehow clawed its way into the inhospitable West Grizzlies region of Ambarino.
It turned out that gold had been discovered near the town and a group of outlaws had sworn to drive the residents out and take it for themselves. They had appealed to Bloody Tom and his posse, the "Coffin Riders" to help defend against the oncoming hoard.
It was there that we met up with Eli. The third member of Bloody Tom's posse - the "Coffin Riders."
I found Eli to be quiet, cordial and even quite humorous at times. Yet there was an ever present atmosphere of danger around him - like a storm about to break at any moment.
We had arrived before the bandits, and had about a week to set up our defenses. This was good, because I still had much recovering to do from my earlier injuries.
I spent the time re-familiarizing myself with my weapons, and rebuilding my stamina. I took quite a bit of time to get my reflexes back. I practiced drawing and firing again and again... and again, until I had regained the speed and accuracy I had lost.
I also helped Bloody Tom and my new found colleagues hunting and gathering supplies in preparation for the stand we would have to make.
It was during those relatively quiet days, that I was able to learn more about Bloody Tom, Eli and Mr. Grimfrost. As my familiarity with them grew, I realized just how fortunate I was to have literally fallen into their company.
Eli as I had described above was quiet. He generally let his actions do the talking. In spite of his gruff, irreverent nature, I found him to be thoughtful and kind to his colleagues as well as a perfect gentleman to me. This stood in stark contrast to the swift, decisive annihilation of his enemies.
Mr. Grimfrost was quite different. It was not unusual to find him off on his own just wandering around admiring the view or strolling through town. We would often walk along in complete silence, just listening to nature and being in the moment. In spite of his tranquil demeanor, Mr. Grimfrost was capable of sudden, deadly action if his friends were ever threatened.
Bloody Tom, the leader of the Coffin Riders was animated, with a unique sense of humor that was as uproariously funny as it was vulgar. He was never at a loss for words. I noticed that he was quick to anger but also, if the occasion called for it, quick to forgive. Bloody Tom was fiercely protective of his posse, and like Eli and Mr. Grimfrost he always put the others first.
I found their loyalty to each other and those they cared about touching. It made my respect for them grow beyond just their combat skills.
It was at the end of that fateful week of preparation when I realized - I would also be willing to put myself in harms way to keep them safe.

A modern pagan prayer bracelet or meditation aid, suitable for broom-closeted devotional polytheists:
Start with your base bracelet. This can be a leather or slicone strap or a silver charm bracelet - whatever you already have or suits your budget.
Choose European-style big-hole slider beads for your bracelet (or a smaller hole if your base bracelet will allow), in colours that you associate with your deity/deities, in a number that’s sacred in your tradition.
Beard/hair beads and artisan lampwork made for SCA / historical reconstruction purposes work nicely. Support the artisans doing that work, and check out Etsy’s vintage section and your local vintage stores and antique malls (I like smoke-cleansing and repurposing vintage finds because it has a smaller environmental footprint than buying new). The silver charms from the 50s-80s may need an adapter bead to dangle from a newer bracelet, and major manufacturers (Trollbeads, Pandora, every chain jewelry store) have made and are making sterling beads in every theme imaginable. Semi-precious gemstone beads are also available.
Then write (or adapt) a meditative chant to go with the beads. A list of your deities’ aspects/names/heiti can be a good place to start. Different chants for different purposes are worth exploring, and you don’t need to do them out loud. Put the chant(s) and the cleansed bracelet on your altar and ask your deities to consecrate them.
I’m hanging with the Norse, so I snagged a vintage foxtail-chain bracelet (Trollbeads), and went through my Viking-and-earlier-replica bead stash looking for ones with 4mm holes. I chose nine lamp-worked glass beads and a few sterling ones; it’s a work in progress. I’m going to keep my eye on Trollbeads, too, because as a Danish company they have a number of beads directly inspired by Norse mythology (and even a Mjolnir bead).
In the photo: Lampwork mostly by Grimfrost, LykosLeather, and VikingsHagedisen - my fancy replica beads from other vendors have a smaller hole (through my own lack of foresight) so will stay on my necklace-slash-brooch-chain. Sterling is all vintage, and the beads with a gold stripe in them are vintage Trollbeads but still mostly available on their website. Some of these will become Yule gifts.
In my UPG, Loki is using my energy centres (chakras in reiki and yoga) as part of teaching me energy and trancework, so my nine glass beads currently are: black, red, orange, yellow, green, sky blue, sapphire blue, purple, white. Kurt Hoogstraat’s “On Contemporary Seiðr” talks about this syncretic practice a bit; I am including the ‘earth root’ and ‘soul star’ centres in my version, and thinking of it as my Bifröst bracelet. It doesn’t hurt that at a glance people think it’s a gay pride thing (everyone I know knows I’m momma bear to a trans teen).
The photo also includes some other options I’m playing with based on what I currently have at hand. I also have repurposed my childhood sterling charm bracelet, reusing the chain for beads (it needs a new clasp) and the charms for sortilege divination purposes, with the help of some sterling split-rings and skinny Thai hill-tribe silver spacers.
What I like about this idea is that it’s so versatile: it can read as whatever gender feels best for you, it can be simple or maximalist, casual or dressy, work-appropriate or wildly artsy, and as subtle and stealth as you need it to be. Because charm bracelets of various kinds have been around for decades, you can do it on whatever budget you have, or ask to be gifted one from that place in the mall. Childrens’ plastic letter-block beads and pony beads can be used, if it suits you and your deity (a certain trickster I know would be delighted with that). You can swap out the beads as you go.
